[Retry] Pokemon: Where it All Began! [OOC/Accepting/PG13]


Recommended Posts

Imma try this again, since last time it died off before it could take off.

 

So. This is going to be an RP about Pokemon. I have a cool Idea for this.

 

[spoiler=Setting]

Alright. Well the story takes place in the Kohjia Region. This is a region based on Japan. As such, there are all sorts of Pokemon that live here, from Grass types to Steel types, it's got it all. There are big bustling cities like Tokyo for example, and there are small quiet towns, like Kyoto(I think that is a calm town in Japan). There are both Trials and Gyms in this Region, but the trial captains and Gym Leaders have to use same type Pokemon as normal.

 

 

[spoiler=General Idea]

There are a number of ways we can look at this. You can be a Trainer, taking your journey like you would in a normal Pokemon game. Or you can be a Trial Captain or Gym Leader. But if you choose the second option, you can only choose 1 type as your main typing, then you can only have Pokemon on your team that are of that type. If you are a trainer, you can have any Pokemon you want, but you must catch it and train it first. Also, if you choose trainer, you will start brand new. You can choose any starter from any official region, then start your adventure. If you choose Trainer, every Pokemon you catch will have randomized stats, by me or a cohost. Anything a Cohost or I say is law. Also no battles until all are introduced.

 

 

[spoiler=Plot]

What I have for the plot mainly is that, this will take place before catching Pokemon was a thing. The first Pokeball has just been invented and it is still a new concept to "catch" a Pokemon. Battling is also new. Before now, people tamed Pokemon like we would in real life, and had them as pets who could help with the household. But, like all changes with anything, there is always going to be a few people who disagree with the new ways. The Evil Team (Team Kydra) is going to focus on pointing out the evil things that catching a Pokemon could possibly do. Whether you are a Leader, Captain or Trainer, you will have to deal with them as best you can, while also convincing others that this is a good change, not a bad one.

 

You will start in the town of Kyoso, where the pokeball is being showcased in a convention. While there, if you are a Trainer, you will become inspired and take on the new Gym challenges along with the long-practiced Trials. If you are a Gym Leader, you will be introduced as a brand new concept. Your job would be to inspire the potentially new Trainers to take the Gym challenge. If you are a Trial Captain like my character, you will already have your Trial set in place, as it was already a thing. Trials already existed, since before, a trial was a test of the bond between you and your Pokemon. If you passed, you were looked highly upon in your hometown. Take these into consideration when making apps.

Starter:

Legend or Mythical Pokemon you like the most: this is because of the fact that somewhere in the story, you will meet this Pokemon, and gain it's trust. It will then battle by your side, but not in every battle, only as a last resort. It also won't go in a pokeball, and will secretly follow you away from the view of other people. But that is quite far in the story.

Quote: "I'm gonna bug ya till you win"

[spoiler=Personal Info]

 

Name: Silke Weaver

 

Age: 17

 

Gender: Female

 

Race: Human

 

Appearance: She wears Green goggles, a black jacket with a green shirt underneath, black jeans, and green boots. She has blonde hair, and hazel eyes. Her favorite ball would be the Luxury ball, when it comes out. Her choler scheme might complement or match that of Yanmega or Leavanny.

 

Personality: She is a very kind person. She doesn't let anyone push her around, and will stand up for those she loves, including her precious bugs! She is also very aware of the economy, and will help out to protect it at all costs. When battling, she is very steadfast, strong, and even a little bit ambitious. She even plans on doing big things with her life and her Trial. But that's why she aims to be the number 1 Bug-type trainer and Captain!

 

Bio: At age 5, Silke discovered she had a love for bugs. Whether it was watching them crawl around, or acting like them, she enjoyed it. She didn't care that it was not lady-like, nor did she care that most girls her age wouldn't even get near a bug. Instead, She viewed this as a strength of hers, and decided to use that in Pokemon battles. That is why she is the Bug-type Trial Captain! She started catching Bug Pokemon at age 10, immediately bonding with them.

 

At age 11, her parent's died in a tragic accident. A rogue Pokemon had come out of nowhere and attacked them. Silke was told to keep running and her parents would be right behind her, but when she got to a safe place, she noticed her parents were nowhere to be found. Then she turned to her bugs. They had never let her down before, why would they now? Before long, she was taking trainers down left and right, making a name for herself as "The Strongest Little Bugger." Then she was awarded the honor of becoming a Trial Captain. She immediately said yes, and vowed to become stronger in the name of her parents.

Well, since my chance of getting into Cow's RP fell through, for now, I might as well express interest and will come up with an app within a week or 2. However, I do have a question about Gym Leader/Trail Captains. I can see how they work initially, but how would they have the most impact on the RP? I can see this being more of focusing on the trainers themselves, but the Leaders/Captains would be a one-time thing and then disappear for a season unless you were planning on having them accompanying the trainers like the anime. It feels like it could be a mixture of both, nevertheless, I would have everyone be a new trainer and then, if desired, give them the choice to have a second app for Leaders/Captains so it doesn't feel like only certain people are participating while the rest are on the sidelines waiting to come in.

 

This was my thought, but I will come up with an app. Also, do you have a co-host?

U have a fair point I had not thought of yet. Yes, a gym leader/trial captain player can choose to accompany a certain trainer after said trainer is finished with their gym/trial. U could even have a secondary app for a gym leader/trial captain/trainer if u so desire to. 

==========

 

As for cohosts, I do have one, but he is not very active. If u would like to become my other cohost, u may.

I'm noting my interest and I'm happy to see this RP back up again. I actually have an idea for a traveling trial captain character so I'll probably post my app here soon.

[spoiler=A Traveling Entertainer]Name: Jason Hills
Age:21
Gender: Male
Race:Human
[spoiler=Appearance]original.jpg

Standing at 6 feet tall, Jason is a rather slim guy and likes to keep it that way. That’s because his show sometimes involves him doing flips. So being as light as possible is always a good idea. When it comes to clothing, Jason likes to wear a simple grey suit with the jacket unbuttoned and a fedora to top it off. His brown hair is left unattended most of the time, unless he’s going to some special event. As for his eye color, it’s a nice shade of light brown.

 

 

[spoiler=Personality]Jason is a friendly guy who just wants to make people happy. That’s his main goal in life to be honest. After all, it’s better to be happy than sad. So whenever he sees somebody who is sad or depressed, he’ll try to cheer them up. If he ever sees someone being picked on or in trouble, he’ll try to help that person as best as he can. Some people may ask why Jason does entertaining for a living. Well he does it for the fun of it. Even if he sometimes gets money, it doesn’t matter to him. Bringing smiles to people’s faces is payment enough. When it comes to his pokemon, they have a strong bond formed by months of trust and friendship. Their bond is so strong that Jason sometimes doesn’t even have to say anything for his pokemon to know what to do.

 

 

 

[spoiler=Bio]Ever since he was a child, Jason had wanted to become an entertainer. He wanted to put smiles on people’s faces, just like magicians and clowns would do. But he didn’t know where to start. That was until something happened in town. A wild Zorua was terrorizing people around town, using illusions to make it look like other pokemon. While the Zorua was scaring people half-to-death, Jason thought up an idea to start his life as an entertainer. But he needed to catch the Zorua first. So he went looking for it, using food as an attempt to lure it out.

 

He quickly found it as it tried to scare him by pretending to be a Pangoro. But Jason wasn’t fooled and offered the food to it. The Zorua was hesitant at first, but then quickly came over to eat the food. As it ate, Jason talked to it and offered it a place to stay as long as it stopped its pranks on the town. The Zorua was more than happy to accept Jason’s offer and went home with him. Over the years, him and the Zorua became great friends. He even gave it the nickname Zori .Zori did play little pranks ever now and then, it wasn’t something that Jason and his parents couldn’t handle. And besides, Jason was happy. He had the perfect thing to start his entertaining career. Using Zorua’s illusions, Jason was able to pull of his own kind of “magic” tricks. He quickly became a favorite in town as people were always amazed to see his little show.

 

When he was 18, Jason left home and went anywhere and everywhere he could think of to do his entertainment show. Along the way he befriended pokemon, met other entertainers, and even learned some new tricks. By the time he was 20, Jason had a show that almost everyone knew about and basically everyone loved to see. People noticed Jason’s strong bond with his pokemon and it wasn’t long before he was offered the position of Trial Captain. He graciously accepted the title, as long as he could keep doing his show.

 

Now he’s on the way to Kyoso town for two reasons. To do his show and to check out the important convention that was supposed to be happening there.

Is it possible for our character to be a class of trainer, like a scientist or a hiker?

Yes. I had one person trying to be a fisherman in the old one.

I mean that he travels from town to town and performs a sort of entertainment show with his pokemon. He might join a trainer if the trainer is going to a town or city where he can perform.

[spoiler=The Dare Taker]


rzs5jiR.jpg

"You're all a bunch of wimps if you think that was tough. Get on my level!"

 

Name: Alex Scandell

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Race: Human

[spoiler=Appearance]

NvzdvnJ.jpg

This is her practical attire, but when she isn't in this, she normally wears a lightweight jacket with a white tank top, shorts with black leggings underneath, and fingerless training gloves. She is 5'6"

 

 

[spoiler=Personality]

She is much of a Tom Boy where she prefers staying outside instead being at home. She is a martial artist training in the city of Cianwood in Johto. She is respectful towards those who have more wisdom than her and takes get deal in learning from them She has the habit of inflicting bodily harm on herself through small dares she would either challenge or accepted in doing. She feels it is a sign of strength if she comes out victorious, even if she gets hurt in the process. Her body does have small scaring, especially on her hands, from both training and her daily risk-taking. On her off days, she would normally meditate and relax to focus on her psyche in the shade. 

 

 

[spoiler=Bio]

In Alex's younger years, she had too much energy to spend it in a home learning how to be "lady-like". She would often go out and play in the mud, chase wild Pokemon for fun, only to come home dirty and maybe even with a few scrapes and bruises. Her parents feared that one day she may get severely hurt or worse. So, in a desperate attempt to protect her and the rest of her siblings, they moved to Cianwood City, away from the bigger cities in Kanto, and enrolled her into the Dojo in town. Right off the spot, Alex loved Martial Arts and became heavily involved in the Dojo.

 

By her mid-teens, she almost died in an attempt to prove one of the dojo members wrong, by taking the fang of a wild Teddiursa. Her Master overheard the conversation and warned her not to do it, but she shrugged them off and went to the nearby woods where Teddiursa were reported to be. After an hour, she finally finds one and stealthily crept up to pounce on it. Within a few seconds, as she got onto it trying to pry open its mouth, its mother came in roaring and scaring Alex as she turned to run away. She got close to Cianwood before the Ursaring clawed her feet causing her to tumble down the hillside, hitting her head on a rock making her go unconscious. By the time she woke up, she was in the hospital with a bandage on her head and a sling on her left arm, and her Master sitting across from her. She apologized for her risk behaviors and promises not to do stuff like that again. A few years passed and Alex became one of the Dojo's Pride and Joy.

 

It wasn't too long before she turned 19 in the late Spring, and as the summer was about to begin, a Rep from Silph Co. came to the Dojo to invite Alex's Master to the Kohjia Region for a convention as a Special VIP. He explained the convention was to present "world-changing inventions and concepts in hopes of revolutionizing the way we see Pokemon today". After a brief discussion in private, Alex's Master agreed to go on the condition that he can bring 1 guest, and that guest was to be Alex as he felt she would benefit from this experience. The Rep agreed, handed her Master an envelope, and left.

 

As the weeks passed, it was time to leave for Kyoso City, for a convention that is to change the world for better, or for worse.

Yay!! New apps coming in!!

=======================

Also, I had two co-hosts last time, and considering how much work we need to do as far as map, and story arc, Imma say we may need to co-hosts. You're in!!

I mean that he travels from town to town and performs a sort of entertainment show with his pokemon. He might join a trainer if the trainer is going to a town or city where he can perform.

O I c. OK, sounds great!!

I need a suggestion, what starter would fit a scientist?

It depends on what Region you're coming from. Use this as a template if you want: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Scientist_(Trainer_class) Magnemite seems to be a common choice. And Kyumi, could I get into your personal group chat? Send it through PM

Two things.

 

1. Keep in mind u have to use a starter pokemon. As in, the ones from the games. From Charmander to Rowley, any of those. Magnemite does not work. But, Eevee or Pikachu does work, seeing as they were u and your rival's starters in Yellow. Eevee might fit a scientist, considering he/she could be studying the highly temperamental DNA of an Eevee.

 

2. @@scooterulez

I will add u in a second.

Thx for the suggestion, an eevee will do nicely.

On our app, do we explain why out character is going to this convention in the bio? And if so, is it just for Trainers and Gym Leaders, or all of them?

Erm... No, but u may include it if u want. It is assumed that the Trainers want pokeballs, the Leaders want to introduce themselves, and the Captains r there becuz they r curious. If u want, u can build off this idea in your bio, but u don't have to.
